Re: Thanks & wmaker menu problem
Ethan
Quick note to say thanks for the advice on changing from miBoot to quik to achieve reliable booting on my Power Mac 7200/75. In the end I don’t take the advise but your comment:
example:
root=/dev/sda2
partition=2
put me on the track of a quick fix solution. It reminded me that that miBoot always looked for root at sda partition=2 so I changed the scsi ID of the disk with root to the lowest on the chain (ie. to sda) and bingo! Debian seems to be up and running reliably. So I can now upgrade to quik & potato r1 as you advised at my leisure.
Unfortunately now have a no application menu problem with Window Maker.
While attempting to edit the application launch menu with “Application Menu Definition” and in spite of being shown a incompatibility warning and a error message I some how ended up with no default application menu, title bar is there but no menu can be pulled down from it.
I know the details are sketchy and I should have noted what incompatibility and error messages said but stupidly I didn’t.
Currently I am rebuilding the menu manually using “Commands” in the “Application Menu Definition” but I am certain to miss some thing important that was in the original default menu.
I would be very grateful if any one can give me any kind of pointer as to how I can get back the default menu.
